The issues involved in teaching about drug and alcohol issues in medical schools incorporate a wide range of concerns. Any attempt to raise the proficiency of doctors in dealing with drug and alcohol problems must begin during their basic training, and impart the skills to continue learning after graduation. The principles of community medicine are especially relevant to education in drug and alcohol problems, and basic teaching techniques must be examined as well as course content when reviewing current ideas about drug and alcohol education in medical schools.
